Website and Graphic Design Internship 2022
Mac Designs Newport R.I.
During my internship at Mac Designs, my primary responsibility centered around coding the company's new websites using the Shopify platform. Within this role, I enjoyed considerable autonomy in conceptualizing and designing the majority of the pages and determining the overall flow of the website. A notable achievement during this period was successfully coding the Contact page entirely using HTML. Despite encountering a learning curve and incorporating feedback from design leaders, I completed the entire website coding process over a span of approximately two months.
In addition to my web development responsibilities, I collaborated with the Sea Deck designers specializing in the 3D digitization of boat decks through CAD software. My involvement extended to assisting in the presentation of ideas and designs alongside lead designers during client interactions. Furthermore, I played a key role in supporting the production manager by participating in site visits, contributing to shop production activities, and assisting in project installations.
In close collaboration with the proprietor of Mac Designs, I revamped his personal website portfolio using the Wix.com platform. Through extensive discussions and numerous suggestions, we worked together to craft a fresh website that exudes a contemporary vibe while seamlessly complementing the company's sales website (https://performancesailtools.com/).
By employing a shared color palette and harmonious web flow, I successfully established a revamped and enhanced online identity for Mac Designs.
During periods when I wasn't engaged in online website tasks, I contributed by aiding in the installation of Sea-Deck on boats. Additionally, I took on responsibilities involving the printing and cutting out of blueprints for clients' boat decks.
